Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Namaste, It is far better to stick to one deity and one homam and do it every day/week/fortnight/month for a duration of time. It is a bad idea to do a different homam everyday. Ramakrishna Paramahamsa used to say " if you want, dig deep in one place. Don't dig one foot in one place, another foot in another place and so on " . Pick one deity and one homam and do it continuously for a few months atleast. It will do something then. Amavasya is good for worshipping Kaali or Mahalakshmi. Especially Deepavali/Diwali is a great day to worship Mahalakshmi. So Her homam is a good idea.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Dear Narasmiha I was wondering, does doing homa for different deities have different kind of effects. Like if someone does a Mahaganapati Homa vs someone doing a Homa of Krishna for a considerable period of time, is there any set principle that defines what kind of progress or experiences each may undergo? I know that it may all depend on the specific persons karmas and mental makeup acquired over many lifetimes, but can there be a broad generalization done on this? -Regards Rajarshi "This above all: to thine own self be true!" - Hamlet--- On Sat, 25/10/08, Narasimha P.V.R.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008  Namaste, It really depends on the person and his/her karmas. In general, after a few months of daily homam, some inner transformation should occur in the way the person views self, others and life. Some clarity should come. Mind should be more peaceful and calm (even when engaging in actions that usually spoil mental calmness). Even when mental calmness is disturbed temporarily, it should be rstored fast. The impermanence of most things we cling on to should be more obvious than before. Devotion should increase. Specific experiences can vary. If one is ready, meditation at the end of homam can even make Kundalini rise, but that may need more preparation in most. Some level of prior inner transformation is needed before that. The goal of homam or any other sadhana is inner transformation. In addition, some specific results are possible with different kind of homas. One doing Savitri Gayatri homam regularly may experience a sharper intellect and the ability to see things related to knowledge more clearly. One doing Chandi homam regularly may experience fearlessness, boldness, frankness, detachment and the ability to wage a big battle without much attachment. One doing Sri Krishna homam regularly may melt with devotion and start to internally cry for Krishna. Different homas may work in different ways. But they all cause internal transformation, simplify the ego of the person, purify the system and clarify thinking.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Dear Sir, Your explanation sounds fair enough and logical. I was wondering what kind of effects would a Bhairav Homa have. I suppose I could take a clue from your description of possible effects of the Chandi Homa. I had a very interesting experince today while doing a homa during the meditation. It seemed as if my whole conscinousness was at my head (I mean for a brief span it was like my hands and legs did not exist).. and I felt very light, asif, if I made an effort I might be able to fly. Before that during the homa the fire was feeling awesome, the hair on my skin stood up with each offering into the fire. Whatever it was, it was a strong, nice experience. -Regards Rajarshi "This above all: to thine own self be true!" - Hamlet--- On Sun, 26/10/08, Narasimha P.V.R. Rao <pvr wrote: Narasimha P.V.R.
